A peek inside our camera roll… 📚✨

Turns out it’s mostly stacks of books, cozy corners, new arrivals, and the occasional “we absolutely need this on the shelf” moment.

Some people fill their camera roll with memories. We fill ours with future reads. 🤓

Stop by and see what we’ve been obsessing over lately. 📖

This and complete disregard for my budgetđź“šđź’¸

Listen, I don’t make the rules.

If a book looks interesting, you have to pick it up.
If you pick it up, you have to read the back.
If you read the back and it sounds good, you have to buy it.

That’s just science.

Come make perfectly reasonable book purchases with us✨

Mentally, I’m wandering the deep, dark aisles of Parallel Universe Bookstore, where every shelf feels like the beginning of a fantasy quest and every book might contain a portal to another world. 📚🌙✨

The lighting? Mysterious.
The atmosphere? Immaculate.
My TBR? Completely out of control.

If you could disappear into any fictional universe right now, where would you go? Tell us below, then come explore the stacks and find your next adventure. 🚀📖

We are celebrating launch week with author Sarah Goehrke and the release of her debut fantasy novel, The Keepers.

Step into the Cardinal Lands—a world ruled by powerful queens, hidden witchery, and ancient covens who answer to no crown. When Aleris can no longer hide the magic she was born with, her fate becomes tangled with Queen Daphne of Sanverra and the mysterious Coven of the Keepers, witches tasked with turning the Wheel of the Year itself… no matter the cost.

A lifelong Clevelander and wordsmith, Sarah Goehrke has spent her career immersed in storytelling through writing, editing, marketing, communications, and the arts. She now owns her own editorial business and lives near Cleveland with her family and beloved collection of cats and dogs.

Join us as we celebrate the launch of The Keepers, meet Sarah, and discover a new fantasy world where magic always demands a price.

⚡️If you loved Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, add The Crimson Fortress to your TBR next.

Both stories throw you into a world full of magic, adventure, and secrets waiting to be uncovered.

…but The Crimson Fortress brings its own unique twists, higher stakes, and unforgettable characters along the way.

📚 Have you read either of these books? Tell us which magical world you’d choose to live in below!
